Happy Blogiversary to Us, ft. Things That Have Kept Us Going for the Past Year

Hello friends! Exactly seven years, at the age of seventeen I created the original version of Wordy and Whimsical, which - to be perfectly honest - started off rather weakly. While the blog was very different then and was hosted on blogger, I like to celebrate W&W's blogiversary on the same date, March 15, so…

Lots of Books and Other Forms of Media We Consumed During January

Hello friends! After taking a break from these posts in December, we are back with our regular monthly wrap up, and we have a lot to share, so I can't wait to get started. As usual, we have divided the post into different parts - even though, frankly, the life section has been dying since…

Our 2020 Challenges Wrap Up

Hey everyone!  Today, we are talking about 2020 Challenges that we participated in and what we accomplished (and didn’t accomplish 😬 ) as part of those. We’ve made two posts already this year talking about these challenges, first this one at the beginning of the year announcing what we were taking part in and then…

November Wrap Up ft. Butterflies and Books

Hey everyone! November is over and we are officially in the last month of 2020, believe it or not. This month we'd like to direct your attention towards the Philippines, which has experienced many consecutive typhoons over the last month or so. Kal @ Reader Voracious has put together a useful post with ways you…

Lots of Movies and A Few Books in Our October Wrap Up

Hello friends! Another month has gone by and, if I'm being honest, October wasn't any better than the previous ones. This month, we ask you to read about what is happening in Nigeria right now, to educate yourself on the #EndSARS campaign, and to support it in whatever way you are able to. You can…

September Wrap Up, ft. Being Tired, YA Lit and Some Movies

Great news everyone - we’ve made it through September!  October always means to me that we are nearing the end - and in my opinion, the most exciting part - of the year.  In Australia, October signals to me that summertime is on its way and that I have sunshine to look forward to soon.…

August Wrap Up, ft. Books, Films, and an Important Blog Update

Hello friends! Look at us, we've conquered another month of this dreadful year. (Not that I think 2021 is going to bring us better things, but you know, we do have to look forward to something, right?) From this point, we'll choose one world issue to highlight in each monthly wrap up and we ask…

Marvelous Music and Okay Books in Our July Wrap Up

Another month of 2020 is done and I for one, am glad that it’s over - which has pretty much been my attitude this whole year, to be honest!  I hope you’re all being as safe as you can and are looking out for the people around you too.  There’s so much going on in…

June Wrap Up, ft. Solid Novels and a Few Disappointments

Hello friends! It feels like June flew by super fast, I can't believe we're 1/3 through the summer! As always, we have some cool stuff to share in this post- life updates, books, movies, as well as some of your blog posts we adored. Before we get into the post, however, let us direct you…

Hi everyone!  Today we’re here to give you an update on how we're doing with the challenges we signed up for this year.  There are some mixed results, but overall I think we're going pretty well and are on track to complete our goals by the time the year is out! VERA The Book Blog…
